So work on public and private files is really starting to pick up. A fair amount of work has gone into file.inc which includes adding a path for private files, switching file_create_url to use the database and adding some functions to swtich files to public or private. Things are becoming somewhat functional and progress is going well. If you want to check out the changes you can use bazaar to grab the code at http://drupal.codeincarnate.com.

should something show up on
should something show up on the webserver? so is this going to be a patch for core?
Stuff on Webserver
You have to use bazaar to get the code. You won't see anything on the webserver because there is just one hidden folder. If you're on linux you can get the code with
bzr get http://drupal.codeincarnate.comSince this is targeting Drupal 6 it will be a patch for core. This is why my mentor and I chose to use bazaar. This way I can work on my own branch, merge changes from mainline, and in the end I can generate a patch against HEAD using bazaar.
Hm - you know that Drupal 6
Hm - you know that Drupal 6 is in feature freeze by now (July 1st)?
So this will probably only get into Drupal 7 ... or did you or your mentor talk to Dries about this being an exception because of SoC?
Well
I was aware of the feature freeze but there is nothing I could really do about it. The Summer of Code's time frame didn't really align with the feature freeze and I've been too busy to get the patch done in time for the feature freeze. Nonetheless I think it makes much more sense to target Drupal 6 and if it doesn't get in for Drupal 6.0 then I hope it will get in for Drupal 6.1 ;).
